When they ask if you want to stay in academia after your PhD...
Me telling new PhDs they can’t take criticism to heart vs Me, reading my peer reviewer feedback:
When you finally get your degree and go into the real world
Me and my cohort in what feels like the year billion of our PhD
Me, after going to one department meeting
When they don't get to the point and are stopping me from procrastinating on my work in more meaningful ways:
Me, throughout grad school
